Produktinformationen ""Irish" & A Man's Game"

Adapted Classics presents two illustrated human interest stories by Irish author Donn Byrne. Both stories are about professional boxers who fight opponents in the ring while simultaneously battling demons within themselves. "Irish" follows a popular, young boxer on the rise who knowingly risks his spotless record by taking a match he believes un-winnable for money he needed to support to his unappreciative, delusional father. The second story, A Man's Game, tells of an aging boxing champion who is harassed by his conscience in the ring for accepting a match he didn't want and an outcome he couldn't abide for bribe money he would use to advance his son's education. The fighting scenes in these stories are vividly described, partly owing to Donn Byrne's experience as an amateur boxer who attained the lightweight championship while attending Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland.To add both context and interest to these outstanding stories, Liam O'Neil envisions, interprets, and illustrates the boxer characters and their battles in and out of the ring to great effect. His 29 illustrations shine forth brilliantly to grace these deeply probing and lively Donn Byrne stories.

EU Warranty Label

The European Union is introducing a mandatory, standardized EU label to provide information about consumers’ statutory warranty rights. This will be complemented by a guarantee label where a voluntary manufacturer’s guarantee is offered.

The purpose of this new regulation is to make consumer rights more transparent and to establish consistent information standards across the European Union. Consumers should be able to see at a glance which statutory minimum protections apply, regardless of the country or retailer from which they make a purchase.
